Well here i am back home, rested and feeling happy, no reverse culture shack at all, listening to great new albums from Yko Ono: Yes I'm A Witch, Bjork:Volta and U ROy's smooth dubby reggae Old School/new Rules...back in strangely unsettling suburban safety, water shortages, and the joy of home cooked wholefoods. All my parcels arrived back from India with lovely fabrics, books and trinkets. This is the last post on this blog i think, until further travels, better to move life along and keep home and travel separate, not that the new blog wont be full of interest, health & nutrition perhaps..
SO a week in Thailand, Koh Chang and surrounding islands was brilliant, just a great way to get india out of my system. Lets just make a list of all that thailand is and india is not: (to tourist eyes anyway, there is of course plenty of corruption and environmental degradation going down..)
Thai people friendly
stress free travel
clean fast buses
roads without potholes
full of european couples
clean streets & bathrooms
'wifi'ed at the beach!
polite people
clean beaches
brilliant food all the time
seafood yummo
but then India wouldnt be nearly so much fun if it was organised like Thailand!
anyway i spent a wonderfully happy and nice week with my Japanese friend Yuko, swimming, visiting beaches & tropical islands, eating superb food!, putting on weight!
our adventures are here Magic Thailand
thanks for reading and until next time bye
